This property was cozy and comfortable for our family's few days visit to the coast. Staff was very pleasant but professional. This was our second visit and would definitely be going back again.
Great location, right on the beach. Staff and food were excellent. We chose to eat local dishes. Marlene is an excellent cook and took care of all our needs. Difficult to pick a favourite food - oxtail, brown stew fish, ackee and salt fish, mackerel run down, jerk chicken, rice and peas, plantain, bammy, breadfruit, salt fish fritters, etc. Everyone had a great time. Would definitely return again.
Great location and beautiful beach. May not be for the Jamaica travel novice or those who prefer the all-inclusive lifestyle. Would definitely stay again. The housekeeper and sometimes cook, Marleen was a delight.
This villa was the perfect peaceful and fun getaway for my family. We stayed here with 2 kids (3 & 5) and 3 adults and it was the perfect amount of space for us. Marlene did a great job making sure we were comfortable, well-fed (she’s an amazing cook), and that the villa was always tidy and comfortable. Matthew was the perfect host. We traveled during a time of extreme uncertainty due to the hurricane and Matthew was extremely communicative, understanding, flexible and accommodating.
We had a wonderful relaxing time at the villa. Marlene & Tracy were lovely and kind enough to make us breakfast each day, then we relaxed on the beach, and even did some snorkeling. The location is fantastic - just on the edge of Ochi but the private beach makes it feel like a small oasis away from the hype. Scotchies for delicious jerk is across the street, and Dunns River Falls is around the corner for a little adventure. It was exactly what we needed, thank you!
Just spend nine incredible days with my wife and two grown sons at this beach side villa in Mammee Bay, just outside of Ocho Rios. Marlene, our housekeeper, was a boss who attended to our every need with her culinary skills and great hospitality and Anthony, our groundsman, was always available to chop coconuts, man the grill and provide any other necessary assistance.
For adults or a family with kids, this villa cannot be beat for location and service. We've been coming here for years and cannot wait to return. I highly recommend it to anyone.
As my title states,this was the most peaceful ,picturesque piece of heaven.We were 4 sisters of mature age truly enjoying every bit of RELAXATION in the most idyllic spot.
The cottage is much more than I expected,and too good to be true.
We loved the private beach steps from the door,the quiet uninterrupted joy and the splendor of the grounds .
Marlen took care of us,making us feel like family.She cooked some of our favorite Jamaican dishes,serving it up with a smile and so much love.
Anthony the grounds keeper cut our coconuts and brought us mangoes he picked on the property.He was such a pleasure and very helpful to us.
Cannon Villa A is definitely my yearly vacation spot.
Love,love it.
My family and I had an enjoyable stay here.
Marlene & Tracey was very gracious accommodating all our needs . I would definitely stay there again The beach is family friendly and clean.
We had a wonderful time! From the moment we arrived to the morning of departure, Marlene the cook/housekeeper made Jamaica dishes sure to please even the picky ones! She made sure all our needs and wants were met! This was a very special trip that We will remember for sure!!!!
What a great week my cousin and I spent at this great beach front bungalow. Mrs Marlene our chef and property manager was the highlight of the trip she helped us with getting food for the week and having great meals through the days. Property is gated and secure, grounds are kept clean on a daily basis. Definitely would love to stay again.
This villa is literally on the beach. Angela was great and the entire stay was flawless.
The villa should provide basic kitchen needs (seasonings, oil etc) rather than having guests who are staying a short while having to purchase these items.
The cottage is well kept and comfortable. Out of the cottages this is the best one. Beautiful beach and carribean ocean right in front of you. The best gem to this property is Ms. Marlene. She is the cook, housekeeper, mother, friend. I love her and can't wait to get back to her.
My family really enjoyed this property! We had our own private beach, the owner Matthew answered all my questions (and I had a lot). He was very kind and helpful! Miss Green our cook and housekeeper is so sweet and her cooking is amazing!!
We felt like we were living in a postcard in this charming villa with the most beautiful beach front view. Marlene is a wonderful cook and the property manager was extremely responsive. We will be returning for sure!
Perfect location, indeed a hidden paradise, unadulterated bliss! From the moment we entered the property until we left, the service and accommodation were unsurpassed. Pristine beachfront at the reach of your hand. Breathtaking sunrise and glowing sunsets. The accommodations were excellent and it felt like my very own home on steroids! I had no desire to return to Texas, but I must, in order to repeat this trip next year. Kudos to the owners, housekeeper/ cook, gardener and the beach crew. There was never too much to ask. Thanks guys and bless up!
Communication from the owner, Matthew, was fantastic from my first inquiry. We were met at the property by Marlene and she had dinner waiting for us as we arrived late. I did contact her a few days prior to request a prepared meal. Marlene's cooking is better than any restaurant! She will request a shopping list/meals requested and she will also make suggestions! Every meal she prepared what fantastic. She was a joy to have in the house! Be sure to ask her how to get to Laughing Water waterfalls, she will instruct you to ask one of the beach employees to escort you during the short walk there! The property was beautiful and the everyone was friendly. Don't forget your bug spray! My sister and I traveled to Jamaica for an ancestral visit and we could have not picked a better Jamaica home than Cannon Villas A. Thank you and we hope to be back sooner rather than later!
Beachfront Villa with breathtaking views and outstanding cuisine
We loved resting and waking to the sounds of the beach. The view from the Villa is breathtaking. Within steps you’re on a private beach and soaking up the sun.
The Villa itself is beautiful with vibrant colors inside and out. An extraordinary part of the experience was the chef, Ms. Marlene who cooked exquisite and authentic Jamaican home cooked meals. Ms. Marlene was the highlight of our trip.
Matthew, the property owner, is incredibly responsive from the moment you book to to arrival, making sure things are smooth.
We can’t wait to return soon! We loved every moment.

This villa is the perfect place if you want to enjoy this private beach, homemade meals, hear the ocean at night and venture out to Ocho Rios for patties or jerk chicken. We stayed here on a “girls” trip and felt very safe and comfortable in the house.
accommodations was great, Marlene the house staff was very good & helpful, meals were good
We had a very good time, the location was good, the house was clean & acceptable, the beach was good, meals were good! I would definitely return for another stay!!
We had the best time! I’ve been coming to Jamaica since I was a little girl, my mom lives in Montego Bay. This was my boyfriend’s third time to Jamaica and we had two family members who had never been before. We all enjoyed every moment! The beach is beautiful, the villa is clean, spacious and very comfortable. The location is ideal, very close to Ocho Rios, with three very close grocery stores, Scotchies for jerk, local fisherman with fresh fish and lobster and very close to Dunn’s river falls and little Dunn’s. Marleen the house keeper is the sweetest and she prepared my most favorite Jamaican dishes. I highly recommend this place!! I will be staying here again and inviting my other family and friends to join us.
The villa is great combo of wonderful location on beach and simple approach to beach living. Everything was in line w our expectations and we were happy. We have stayed in this area so we had a general idea of the layout / location. The staff was helpful and the food well prepared. We can recommend staying there.

Why they chose this property
We first bought this Villa along with another family so that we could all have a place to spend weekends and holidays. As a young couple with a mortgage, we couldn't afford it on our own but we knew it was one of the best beach locations in Jamaica, and we knew it would never be cluttered with hotels because of the established residential and vacation home community around it. Some of our family's best memories were made at Cottage A. Bonfires on the beach, water skiing, fishing trips ending with beach bar-b-ques, walks over to the nearby Laughing Waters waterfall, and lots of laughs with great friends are some of the good times that spring to mind whenever we talk about Cannon. It was tough to buy it in the early days but buying tis villa was one of our best decisions
What makes this property unique
The location is the biggest benefit. People from all over Jamaica and other Caribbean islands regularly refer to it as one of the loveliest spots they have been to. Many have been to larger, more modern, more salubrious villas but the location and quaint, simple but tasteful surroundings make Cannon hard to beat
